WALL-EAPRING MACHINE.

Application lcd April 12, 1922. f Serial No.1551,759.

@ZZ whom t l1/zag] concern Be it known that I, ,latins V. PizziNo, a subject of the King of Italy, residing at Mercer, in the county of Mercer and State 5 of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful :Improvements in Wall-Pa pering Machines, oit which the following is a specification. This invention relates to certain new and `l0 useful improvements in wall papering machines and has particular reference to the provision ot a portable machine. which is hand operated and moved over the walls and ceiling of a room during the applical5 tion of the strip of wall paper to the wall.

The primary object of the invention resides in the provision of a portable wall papering machinewherein a roll of paperV is rotatably supported in the machine and caused to travel over guide rollers and in contact with a paste containing cylinder with means carried by the machine adapted for automatic operation in the severance of the strip of paper when the machine has moved the entire distance `for applying a strip of paper to a wall or ceiling.y

Another object of the invention has reference to a portable wall papering machine wherein a paste containing cylinder is adapted to be supported at different points on the machine for either applying the strip'` of paper to a wall or ceiling.

The invention further includes in a wall paperingmachine, a device for trimming or removing the selvage edge ot the paper prior to the mounting or a roll in the papering machine.

TWith the above general objects in view and others that will appearas the nature o'f the invention is better understood, the saine consists` of the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully. described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.. w

Referring morein detail to the accompanying drawings, and particularly to Figs. l to 5 there is illustrated a portable wall papering machine particularly designedv for applying strips ot' paper either to a'wall or ceiling, the machine embodying a frame including end bars l of substantially semicircular .formation connected by strips 2 and 25 and a cutting block. 4, a manipulating handle 5 being secured centrally oit the mid- .iilleconnecting strip 3. A plurality of guide rollers 6 is` removably journaled in the arouate end bars l, the bearing forpone of the rollers being shown in detail .in Fig'. 9 as having an axial socket 7 in the end. thereof .ior the reception of a p-in 8 carried by a or' the end bar and extending ythrough an .openingin said vbar as clearly illustrated, the guide' rollers `G being removable from The strip of paper 12 is delivered troniy the roll under the guide. rollers G as'VV shown in Figs. 1, 3 and land over, the noid-qy dle connecting strip 3, the strip ofpaper continuingandl passing. over the cutting block 1 and outwardly of; the wall engagingV rollers 13 journaled inthe ends offthe.` Vend bars adjacent thecuttingblock Ll-asshoivn Vin Fig: 3.
